Bauer

[twickerspne]

Really pleased for him tonight. Couldn’t have been easy for him with the injury he suffered last season at the Vitality Stadium/Dean Court! He will have put a few ghosts to bed tonight. I always feared he would never get over that injury fully. Seems to be back to his best. A real unsung hero. Preston’s Beckenbaeur ….

 

[OB1]

Second best striker in the league, and wasn’t given a sniff

The very definition of back-pocketed

 

[StevieNorthEnd]

Dealt with in form Solanke expertly

 

[shabbagaz]

I was delighted when Riis signed a new contract. It's now imperative we get Bauer signed up to a new one ASAP. Class act and we're always lost without him.

 

[JK]

Solanke didn't get a sniff.

He has recovered superbly since his return from injury.

We need to get a new contract sorted ASAP.

 

[Lee Cartwright]

Yeh Bauer was superb tonight. The bournemouth commentator was very complimentary of him too

 

[SoccerHQ]

Been a great signing really.

Believe me I think everyone would've been less critical of transfer policy in recent seasons if more types like Bauer had been picked up, mid 20s and experienced in championship.

Hopefully stays fit as just holds the defence together now with his leadership.

 

[TonyK1]

Bauer was immense once again and agree his contract extension should be high on the agenda, as we are so much better organised when he is martialling the back line.
We really missed him when he was out injured and I'm so glad he is back to his best once again.

 

[OOOO3]

We have looked a much better team since his return and is a great leader at the back

 

[Mighty Whites]

Captain material

 

[Yoowell]

So worthy of his own thread tonight….he was outstanding.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Bauer is immense. We are so much better with him in the side it's ridiculous.

 

[PNE04]

Absolutely brilliant again from him, love the BFG.

 

[york white]

He's a better player now than when he first joined us. Looks completely at home.

 

[Durutti]

He's just absolutely fucking ace. Gets into the Lucketti bracket for me in terms of connection to the fans. I just think out entire last two years is defined by when he is and isn't playing. Essential.

 

[Dick Dastardly]

Back three fantastic tonight.

 

[NorthernMonkey81]

Reminds me so much of Chris Lucketti absolute colossus tonight 👏👏

 

[Hitch 22]

Should be Captain. Simple as that.

 

[Tino]

Great player, what a difference he makes and it's no surprise that Hughes and Storey always play better when he's there, and he'll be absolutely ideal for VDB to slot in alongside.

 

[jumping mouse]

Genuinely worried about him running down his contract like he did at Charlton.
